Good point, didn't think of that. My bad.

YET, the agents are still in Business

Before it was 800,000 the day you applied for the extension and than take ur baht out

than it was 3 months before..than take ur baht out

NOW its 800,000 2 months before, 3 after and you can only take half back

 

I'd like to see some proof the agents are still in business. The agent I used to deal with in Chiang Mai says his business is about 35% down, and AFAIK he only dealt with legitimate visas and extensions.

On the other hand, I know several people who shifted to Cambodia because they could no longer game the system with the connivance of an agent.

Clear through Immigration in 20 hours after expiry, then sleep in the terminal. You possibly find one of those walk-in business lounges.

And coups come from the older military age bracket.

Until the younger colonels oust the generals.

They must really fear Thanathorn and the young vote he has garnered. Revolutions usually come from that age bracket.

Wow, very surprising.

I have always found the UK people super clean and responsible.

Anyway, on the big picture you should be happy you had tenants for 30 days.

Latest Pattaya estimate 25,000 empty units.  So, if you can get something out of that property investment, you should feel happy.

You may be right, and i just got some pond life.

One thing I forgot in my OP - I was fascinated by the patina of grunge on the knives, forks and spoons after their stay. I can only conclude they just rinsed in running water. Perhaps they thought they were being considerate by not using the new bottle of detergent and scourer sitting next to the sink.

Good grief it’s 2020, the term is vacuuming a plus size...

Is someone going to post in English so we can understand what you two are talking about? It was easier to understand when 10cc was around.

Just wondering how a Biden-Sanders ticket would do.

Would not have minded watching or even helping them do it to the lady in front of us this afternoon???? mind you doubt if the wife would have let me.lol

A man after my own heart. If you want to see the best butts on the planet, head for Yangon in Myanmar sans wife. The combination of Burmese and Indian genes left me weak at the knees.

Logged in, out of stock. Not a bad profit margin, though. 219 baht when the raw materials are probably on 20 - 30 baht.

Ive got the edible totty locked down here in Siem, except my kid is here cramping my style. Hows the air?  

IMO it's better than CM, although that's not saying much. I'm fully armored with PM 2.5 filters on the aircon, an air purifier, and a PM 2.5 meter. As I type, inside my room it is running at 8.

You would need to speak reasonable Thai to get anywhere here with the ladies. Now if you took up golf, there are some easy on the eye caddies on Santiburi and Waterford Valley. My regular caddie with the cute bum in Chiang Mai is now history.

Bread and circuses. I'll retreat to my GF's village, they are more sensible about Songkhran there.

I'll bet she took her commission.

Its just not worth it for short term rentals, I dont know how these guys that do airbnb get on, imagine having those dramas every couple of weeks.

The way it seems to be going here in Chiang Rai, long-term rentals are a thing of the past. Notice boards in the condos are full of for sale and for rent posters. My landlord in Chiang Mai now has three untenanted condos. The other two have been vacant for 2 years.

Pretty safe bet.

If you are re-incarnated, why would you be bothered feeding lawyers?

This is why all of my shopping is online, mostly Tesco and lazada and that was before the virus hit. Supermarkets, traffic, long lines etc 

Let someone else do the donkey work!

How do you know the packages you are getting are not coated with coronavirus?

one good thing coming out of all of this is hand sanitizer is popping up at Bluport Mall, Gourmet Market, Tops and Big C.

 

and people are using it.

 

by the way, did you know Big C is my nickname?

 

I think that's called leading with your chin. I'll let it go, for fear of wrath from on high. Big C and Tops in Chiang Rai has the hand sanitizer. I'd just like to know where the hell I can buy it.
